I read so much through the boards where different people want to sit behind their computers and try speak that majority all providers are on some sort of drugs or another. I myself am not and do not do what I do for drugs. I do what I'd do because I enjoy it and because I have bills and a home to keep up with monthly as well. While I do what I do as a hobby I'm also looking for a job in search whether it be fulltime or just part time.
Also just a reminder and friendly key of advice for some providers in the hobby. I like to be on safe side when referencing my clients as I'm sure the rest of the providers would. I find it odd though on majority when I contact a few providers to reference through and all they can say is they do not remember if they know the client or number or not. I do not know if you choose to be that way because you feel you are loosing business or if its because you really do not. However key of advice is if you want to continue to be on safe side and help other providers be safe then START remembering clients and keeping track of names and numbers because I surely do. I also do not have a problem to ever be of help verifying a client because I do understand clients want to experience different providers, that is their right. Its not on me to choose not to verify out of being mad I would loose business. I give that respect to all providers so I would expect the same in return. I have heard numerous times from different people providers are complaining of their clients seeing certain people and not them. Grow up its a hobby business and clients can see whom they want it is their decision not ours to make for them or try stop them. All that will cause is for those providers doing just that to loose business being that way.
